Good to know... I’ve got 70 or so. I guess I should try to figure out what’s what. I could post a list of my divisions if anyone might know some walker clone history.Nice!
Most walkerianas now are tetraplouds, so the hope is your other parent is not a diploid. Otherwise F1 triploids, though great flowers, will end the line.
Most likely any new seed based walkerianas from 2005 onwards (from US nurseries like H&R, Miranda or Brazil) are from tetraploid lines. And tetraploids have the thick substance and full petals that will not curl on aging.Good to know... I’ve got 70 or so. I guess I should try to figure out what’s what.

Here’s most of my collection... finally enjoying the weather outside.

. I bought a leftover walker from a vendor as they were packing up to go... biggest orchid mistake I ever made. I was immediately hooked by the beauty and the scent of the flower. The rest is history.
Award worthy!I couldn’t resist posting this tonight. It’s just opening and if you have walkers you know how that is. Dorsal up... dorsal reflexed... dorsal up... and so on. This is a pretty nice flower and I’m looking forward to making a cross with it.
